The August 27 Hays City Commission meeting will start an hour later than usual–at 7:30 p.m.–allowing commissioners to participate in the annual Core to Campus event in downtown Hays.

Hundreds of students and faculty from Fort Hays State University, NCK Tech and Hays Academy of Hair Design, will be introduced to the unique variety of shopping, eating and entertainment available in downtown Hays.

Rick Rekoske, Hays Convention and Visitors Bureau Director, said everyone is invited for the fun.

The Downtown Hays Development Corporation, Hays Convention and Visitors Bureau, TGOF Committee (Tiger Gold on Friday) and Eagle Communications are hosting Core to Campus. More than 35 downtown businesses will participate.

Free dinners from the Taco Shop will be provided to the first 500 students presenting the IDs. The event will also feature music, games and more.

Core to Campus will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. on Main Street in downtown Hays.

FHSU and NCK Tech classes start Monday, Aug. 17.
